Choosing a machining subcontractor depends first on the nature of your part. A part of revolution (shaft, ring, axle) calls for turning; a prismatic part with complex shapes calls for milling, ideally 3 or 5 axes. For shapes impossible to obtain by conventional cutting, EDM becomes necessary.
Not all workshops work the same materials. Aluminium and steel are almost universal; stainless steel, titanium and superalloys require more expertise and suitable tooling, common in aerospace- and medical-oriented workshops.
For a prototype or a one-off part, favour a responsive workshop with a design office. For medium or large batches, machine capacity and automation become decisive for the unit price.
Workshops in the area cover most material-removal machining processes.
Besançon has historic ties to the watchmaking and microtechnology industries, a heritage that has forged a local culture of precision and miniaturization. This tradition is reflected today in the presence of workshops specializing in high-precision Swiss machining (bar turning) and EDM, demanding processes directly derived from the watchmaking know-how of Franche-Comté. Companies such as Gradel Décolletage Industries, Fralsen, and IDMM carry on this bar-turning expertise, while USIMICRON and Cryla master advanced processes such as grinding or gear cutting.
The Besançon industrial fabric revolves around growth sectors such as automotive, aerospace, and medical, reflecting the diversification undertaken over several decades. Workshops such as LIP Industrie and Statice Manufacturing meet the strict specifications of the medical sector, while Amery and USIMICRON serve aerospace and automotive respectively. The business parks of the Besançon metropolitan area, notably Témis — a technology hub dedicated to microtechnologies — and the surrounding industrial zones, host a significant share of these subcontractors, fostering synergies and responsiveness within the local supply chain.
